Ford is likely to debut two new Ford Racing models at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show. While the exact details are unclear, sources suggest that at least one of the cars might be a Mustang Cobra or Boss.
Ford CEO Jim Farley has already confirmed that the Mustang isn’t going anywhere and that the future of the pony car is secure. The company continues to invest in the iconic American muscle car, and we might even see a new model at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show.
“Actually, we’re doing really well with Mustang. I think we’re the only one left really, which we’re quite proud of. We’re investing a lot in Mustang. I think the thing people don’t get about Mustang is that it’s a global car. It’s the best-selling sports coupe in the world,” Farley said.
The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 was powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine tuned to produce 444 hp. It was paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The special edition also got upgraded suspension and beefier Brembo brakes, among other upgrades.
Ford revealed the Mustang RTR in October last year. It is touted as the most exciting non-V8 Mustang ever.
